superstorm sandy hit the east coast, tons of videos. one we featured was this one from hoboken, new jersey, where we saw a ups man still working in the floodwaters. turns out this video was taken by a good friend, associate producer for mlb network. his latest video on the web as well. hoboken 411 called it one of the most incredible hurricane sandy videos you'll see. >> there's no power here. everything is pitch back. i can't see street signs. >> from that right there, it feels like we experienced the storm itself. of course there's the aftermath, just the crazy amount of flooding. all this video shot by mike. unfortunately now hoboken, new york city and much of the northeast battered by a nor'easter. we've got mike joining us "right this minute." tell us what it's like there in hoboken after this flooding and now after the snowstorm. >> right now things are kind of getting back to normal but the

obstruction on the roadway. >> i thought it was just backwards day. >> they say if there is a large traffic jam due to an accident that more accidents oftentimes occur because of the backlog of traffic, people being unaware there's going to be a sudden stop on the highway. >> so troopers provide warning to the drivers who are coming up where traffic might be backing up. >> i feel like this is some sort of rookie hazing. we're going to tell everybody there's a backlog. just do it. >> when you travel a lot, what you do a lot on a plane is fall asleep, and sometimes you fall asleep on your fellow travelers, because you're tired. it's embarrassing. what i'm about to show you, an equally embarrassing solution to that. this is the upright sleeper. >> the upright sleeper is 100% adjustable to every face, shape,
